Chambers Review

Regarded as a highly-capable global practice, CMS provides a comprehensive service to international clients in areas such as M&A, dispute resolution, and banking and finance. The sector-oriented London team exhibits real strength advising clients from the energy, insurance, technology and life sciences spaces. Cross-border mandates are often coordinated from the UK, but the law firm also stands out for its excellent network of offices throughout continental Europe, which is strengthened by its presence in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

CMS's life sciences practice supports multinational pharma clients across a broad spectrum of matters, with particular strength in regulatory work. The team also adeptly advises on cross-border transactional matters, patent litigation and enforcement and product liability issues. CMS frequently coordinates matters that are multi-jurisdictional in scope, liaising effectively with the law firm's specialists overseas.
